pERK-LI cells in Vc after non-noxious and noxious mechanical stimuli of the lateral facial skin in rats with capsaicin or vehicle application to the skin. A-D: Photomicrographas of Vc following no-noxious (6 g) or noxious (60 g) mechanical stimulus of the skin in vehicle- (A and B) or capsaicin-treated (C and D) rats. E-H: Rostro-caudal distribution of pERK-LI cells in Vc and C1-C2 following non-noxious and noxious mechanical stimuli of the skin in vehicle- (E and F) and capsaicin-treated (G and H) rats. M: Mean number of pERK-LI cells in Vc and C1-C2 following non-noxious and noxious mechanical stimuli of the skin in vehicle- (open columns) and capsaicin-treated (solid columns) rats. **: p < 0.01. Veh: vehicle for capsaicin, Cap: capsaicin.
